later on two favorite nephews showed up and in no time had all the brush picked up and all the logs cut into firewood..  all I had to do was drive the tractor and dump load after load of brush onto the burn pile..

 

I thought that my sister was going to send some of her boys out to help, so I pruned the 3 black walnut trees in the yard..  we didn't get those branches picked up..  I can do it at my leisure, I guess..  DD#1 said she could come out on Sunday and help,,  that would be nice..

 

I took a pan of maple sawdust and did hamburgers on the grill..    that smoke sure adds aroma, if nothing else..  I had hamburgers for lunch and supper..

 

we had just enough rain to keep it from drying out around here this afternoon..

 

I have a gosling in the incubator and another one well on it's way out of the egg..

 

Marlene has 30 guineas to pick up  and  Dan has about 20..

 

our chickens are laying up a storm..   24 eggs today..  we penned one hen up that Annie caught eating an egg..  she has not laid an egg in about a week..  I told Annie that it must be eating the egg as soon as she lays it...  truly, I don't think she is laying any eggs..  so much easier to "off" her.

 

my test bed of carrots, and radishes is doing just great..  the lettuce did not germinate much..

I would like to build about a dozen of those raised beds..  I weeded this one in about 5 minutes today..  actually were not many weeds to start with..

 

........jiminwisc...........

morning Jim

glad to hear everything is turning out well with all your storm issues.  Yep, we got about a 1/4" out of the rain yesterday ourselves so no watering here either.  I wish I were brave enough to start incubating my own eggs.  Maybe next spring.  I have to start asking around about an older Aussie or Wyandotte pullet to add to my little flock.  The Swap was a real bust for me for that.  What I would really like is a Buckeye or Chantecler but I know that probably won't happen.  I went raised beds with my garden next to the house several years ago in anticipation of the time when I wouldn't be able to crawl around at ground level anymore and I LOVE it!  Wish now I had done more.

I am not even close to being prepared for it, but I'm going to run and walk it. I will finish that 6.55 miles, and NOT throw up.

My daughter in law and friends are running in that one too!  Good luck and have a great time!

Rain round 3 starting now.

Hi DrH

did Bob come home?  I know how hard it is when they get into their twilight years

KN~no, no!!!  no more rain.  we have a roadtrip to Menominee this morning!

Cind~I do the best I can but you would be surprised the mess just hubby and I (and critters)can make running in and out of our little

home!  and you have children!!!   I just tell folks "we LIVE here".  I like my home to look nice if someone stops by too of course, but if it's not perfect, if they are friends they won't care, if they do, they're not really friends and if they are strangers then WHO CARES!

I'm soooooooooooo excited to have found this site!! ..This is St Croix Falls, WI here saying good morning and hello!!!

Hey there!!!  And Welcome 

vick that is soo funny1 

Sounds like you got some real characters!!

Have fun at the run ladies! You are more ambitous than I am.

cind glad you got your dog to stink not so bad.

DrH hope your kitty comes home.

vick got me to thinking I had set up a snow fence on the outside of my chicken fences and left about a foot and planted some multi colored morning glories. Within a few days of them coming up they were all eaten except two. I showed someone that was over here  the two and the next day they were gone. Here they are poking their little heads through te spaces in the fence. Now they have snookered a way in between the snow fence and it seems like the only Prime place to take a dust bath is in between the two fences in that little space.

Cind, I keep a liter of Hydrogen Peroxide on hand in case of skunk encounters. Mix it with 1 tsp dish soap and enough baking soda to form a thin paste, and scrub away. It works better than mater juice.

Apyl, this is for you! And me!
